Vishy vs The World: Can we beat the legend?

The exciting Vishy vs. the World vote chess match against GM Viswanathan Anand is fast approaching, beginning on Monday, September 30. Chess.com has recruited a star squad of four coaching advisors to provide analysis and recommend moves (reflecting the Kasparov vs. the World match of 25 years ago) and is excited to announce their identities.

The coaches are:

• IM Tania Sachdev,
• IM Sagar Shah,
• FM James Canty,
• and IM Kostya Kavutskiy.

All strong masters, what these coaches also offer is the ability to clearly explain chess concepts and what is happening on the chessboard as a game is ongoing—an ability that will be key to guiding the world team to sound plans and strong moves.

i suppose we could give a fight if everyone goes with right idea and beginners have sense to check the opinion of higher rated players

I suppose a lot of people will cheat.

and hope that idiots dont cheat and ruin the fun

Most often i am getting disconnected during game and lose my ratings and my opponents gain time advantage

I think it is because I didn't subscribe for any paid package or others are able to cheat
